The\u00a0Lifelong Information Literacy (LILi)\u00a0Group<\/a>\u00a0welcomes everyone interested in topics of lifelong information literacy to submit proposals for engaging and interactive presentations related to this year’s virtual<\/strong> conference theme, “Teaching and Learning: Introducing New Topics, Pivoting Online, and Starting from Scratch”. The meeting will take place on\u00a0Friday, July 8<\/strong>.\u00a0We are exploring approaches for creating, adapting, and reimagining instruction and services in an ever-changing landscape.<\/p>\n After the uncertainty of the last two years, those working in libraries and K-12 schools have had to pivot to new modes of instruction multiple times, sometimes at the last minute. We have also been asked to take on new roles and to teach ourselves and our students about new disciplines, tools, and more. How can we continue to offer timely, crucial services in uncertain situations? And how can we balance library services with the understanding that our patrons and staff are facing unprecedented challenges, stressors, and more?<\/p>\n LILi\u00a0is a group of library workers, encompassing academic, public, school, and special libraries. Our organization seeks to investigate\u00a0information literacy definitions, standards and instruction, in order to craft effective models of lifelong, sequential information literacy instruction. Universal access and inclusivity\u00a0are important to the organization. For accommodations, please contact us as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Possible presentation topics include the following ones.<\/p>\n Introducing New Topics\u00a0 (to your classrooms, library, campus\/organization)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Pivoting<\/strong><\/p>\n Starting from Scratch\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We will be accepting proposals for lightning talks, presentations, and virtual poster sessions. Definitions of presentation formats are as follows.<\/p>\n Presentations (15-min. presentation plus Q&A): <\/strong>dynamic presentations that share experiments, works in progress, or sustained reflections and outcomes of more complete projects while engaging a range of participants and fostering connections and dialogue<\/p>\n Lightning Talks (5-to-7-min lightning talk plus Q&A):<\/strong>\u00a0highly-focused presentations that succinctly introduce a topic, method, tool, project, or work-in-progress to catalyze ideas and foster follow-up discussions<\/p>\n Posters\u00a0(2-min presentation plus Q&A):<\/strong> Poster proposals present work on any relevant topic or offer project tools, and software demonstrations in any stage of development. Selected posters will be emailed to registered attendees one week before the conference. The hope is to allow for more discussion and questions during the interactive poster session.<\/p>\n All proposals must have a title, with an abstract of up to 300 words, including 3 main takeaways for the audience. Creative and engaging proposals that include interactive elements will be given priority. Please indicate your preferred format when filling out the proposal submission form (see below for link). All proposals will be blind-reviewed by a group of LILi Advisory Board members.<\/p>\n We endeavor to support everyone who is interested in presenting, but ask that proposals not advertise or promote paid services or consultancy. LILi conferences are to be free, shared learning spaces for all. We especially encourage students and early-career folks to be part of our conference – do not hesitate to submit. We invite proposals from diverse voices, giving priority to people from marginalized communities during the submission process. We want anyone who is interested in this conference theme and the LILi mission to be part of our LILi community.<\/p>\n All presenters, presentations, and related materials are asked to ensure the following.<\/strong><\/p>\n Submit proposals here<\/a> by\u00a0Friday, April 8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Learn more about previous conferences, presentations, and more by visiting here<\/a>.
